It’s been a busy summer, but it’s going to be an even more busy fall! At least, when it comes to bookish things 🙂
I am SOOO excited to announce the details of my newest novel! I’ve been working on it for over a year and I’m finally in the final stages of drafting. It’s definitely my best work yet and I cannot wait for you all to read it.
Without further ado, here is the cover and title of my next book!!
Lost in Time is a historical, paranormal mystery based on the real history of New Jersey’s Bermuda Triangle, also known as Round Valley Reservoir. Round Valley is located minutes from where I grew up and once I learned about its dark and strange history, I knew I needed to write a book about it.
Here’s the synopsis:
Welcome to Round Valley. While this New Jersey park is normally known for its rolling trails, sandy beaches, and sparkling reservoir, most that visit are unaware of the dark history lurking just below the water’s surface. Maya and Morgan Stratiotis are oblivious to the danger when they decide to go swimming one evening, a few months before they graduate high school. Without warning, both sisters are dragged underwater by a seemingly invincible force. Only Maya resurfaces, leaving police to assume her sister has drowned.
But Morgan wakes up, though it’s nowhere she recognizes. She’s not just in another place, but in another time. Inspired by the real history of New Jersey’s Bermuda Triangle, Amazon bestselling author J. L. Willow’s newest novel weaves the story of two sisters as Maya and Morgan fight to uncover the truth behind the reservoir, right the wrongs of decades past, and bring Morgan home. One thing, however, is certain: what happened to Morgan was no accident. And she’ll soon discover that the deeper she digs into Round Valley’s history, the darker its secrets become.
Lost in Time will be launching March 10, 2027! I know that seems far away, but don’t worry, I have so many exciting things in store leading up to the launch. If you’re excited, be sure to add it to your ‘Want to Read’ shelf on Goodreads HERE and watch the book trailer HERE!
